[Harker]

24. She still lives in the same house

Love that song by The Proclaimers. In Benny & Joon.

[jberryhill]

79. No. You have to take the long and winding road to your door

[sl8]

81. But the two aren't mutually exclusive. As a matter of fact, ..

The Proclaimers originally wrote,

"... And I would walk 500 miles on a long road
And I would walk 500 miles on a winding road ..."

Nobody cared for that song. One fateful night, in a flash of inspiration, the songwriter shed the shackles of Beatles-inspired lyrics, removed the offending four words from each line, and gave us the version that we all know and love.

And now you know the rest of the story.

Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.
Ol' Smokey's got them ears on and he's hot on your trail.

You got to keep that diesel truckin'.
Just put that hammer down and give it hell.

All the way
All the way......

48. And we walked off to look for America, Cathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh,

Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw

Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America'

74. From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore

Wabash Cannonball

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
She climbs a flowery mountains o'er the hills and by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all
She's a regular combination on the Wabash Cannonball

Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome hoboes call
Traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

Well she came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say
She's from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball

Here's to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand
And always…

[Totally Tunsie]

75. Across the Wide Missouri (Shenandoah)

Well, a white man loved an Indian maiden
Look away, you rollin' river
With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.

Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin' river
It was for her I'd cross the water
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
